Hi Guys,

My name is Áron [Aaron], grinding from Hungary.
At the first 3 months , i have been playing SNGs, after that i started NLHE CG at NL4. That was 1,5 years ago.

Now, i mostly play at NL100, Ongame network, started to shoot NL200. I usually play at 9-12 tables. My winrate is around 1,5-2bb/100 in the last 200k, i think it can be easily better if i would work more on my leaks.

I am really motivated, want to learn, want to play and want to have a lot of BI-s.

My short term goal is to beat some mid stakes limit at the end of the year.

My potential problems can be:
- adapt to spewy regulars ( feeling: "usually played off my hand")
- adapt to not so standard players. ( can not understand how can they win--> optimal play againts him?)
- adapt to the circumstances, especially in the blinds ( like i have the same WTSD when i defend my BB as in the CO, or at least it is close.)

After the camp, i would like to feel, that i did some steps to get closer to my goal.

Yeah, i always check, them bought PTR membership when came to ongame, also think its really usefull.

Nowdays i have positive and negative feelings about the spewy regs. Just always have the feelings they outplays me with my marginals hands, got the feelings that i am able to beat them with my monsters hands.

-my conception was againts him: if i call flop and turn which is really strong he might give up river.
-unfortunetly if he plays KQ/AQ+ this way he wont fold, and i can force him to do some megspewy move. (btw i have never seen him ch/r TP on dry boards so his range is narrower )

-turn ch behind: this is the only way i can keep his floats inside, ( btw he could picked up some EQ so barel can be an option)

-river: bet big, i was thinking about shipping my stack but he mostly has 66 or air or some tricky Qx or KK+ whick might call, but i wanted to get some information and yeahh...

nh! I generally adapt by just cbetting less, and just get involved in big pots with marginal hands less often. However, when we do decide to take a stand (with a hand that isn't a monster), we need to be prepared to fight a little bit harder for it.

My conception was: a smaller bet can be good, he can HC me some weak one pair hand, and againts this size he probably shoves wider. ( not sure this guy shoves (8Ts or A8s ) and ofc he can still do some crazy moves with some blockers.

The problem is that he was really passive, on small example.

Betting big on the river give us better odds to call shove and with that stack size his bluff would be a smaller part of his range.

My name is Erik and I will be part of the coaching staff focusing on Tilt, A-Game, Mindset, and Lifecoaching. So if you have any questions you can just post them
here and let me know in my Q&A thread if I take too long to reply.

u are right, i should definetly 3bet bigger, like 11 or even 12 . He called the 3 bet 100% percent. 4/4

I think some villains ch/r-broke KK/QQ this spot. But mostly his vaule range will be nut FD ( which i block
) sets, and combodraws.
The other part of his range, and will be a huge part is some random bluffs i think.

I hope you got past that exam ok.
I know time can be probelmatic, but do try to post some questions here for the coaches and others to help out with or an interesting hand for evaluation and discussion.
